How to generate strategies and solutions that create real change in hidden areas
such as Dyslexia - reading and perceptual difficulties and Vision problems – unique, fun, ‘hands on’ and interactive. Lots of Practical Solutions explored…
Within Education we don’t really use the word Dyslexia very much anymore, however reading perceptual problems occur in every classroom. Do you have students who sometimes just don’t seem to get it?? Or they are disengaged and disinterested? Or they are great in some areas of learning and way behind in others? An invitation to participate in some exciting Professional Development designed especially for understanding and exploring literacy and dyslexia and reading problems and how they can be discovered and helped…
One of our new workshops is about dealing with dyslexia and reading perceptual problems. This workshop also explores some of the vision problem areas as well. Based on our experiential style workshop participants will feel and see what the problems are like. We will then explore different strategies and brainstorm ideas and work like detectives to find ways to support and encourage the students we are working with. There is no money to support this area of difference so we all need to work together to create real change.
One of its kind workshop – combining two of our most popular
workshops from last year– ‘Vision problems and Reading and Perceptual Issues
literacy workshop - Limited Places – Don’t miss the chance to participate in
